I get it you hate me. Everytime I post you jump all over me and try to embarrass me. You win, not worth it anymore. I’m done. Not posting in here again. You finally bullied and harassed me away. Not worth the headache anymore, this has been a tit for tat game for years

You don't get it. Systematically, you deliver every possible bit of info suggesting it won't snow, while ignoring info suggesting snow. You have a far greater command of meteorology than me and I respect your knowledge.

But don't expect a good reaction from a forum that looks forward to snow

But it literally hasn't snowed. At all. Let him have his moment

It should be a lock then. How are other locations doing

I happen to agree. The 30” is skewed by the big winters we had in the past 10 years and will likely reverse somewhat in the next 10 years. As we see here what can be given easily gets taken away. This will be the 4th of the last 5 winters that will very likely be well below “average” at Central Park. The 5th was 20-21 where we all really lucked out. 

The data is there to establish the real averages so it should be used.  It makes no sense to not include more than 100 years of weather data.  And all of the data should be easily accessible to the public, not just to us weather enthusiasts.

As opposed to most others here who do exactly the opposite.  With his analysis almost always included, I looked forward to a different viewpoint.

It's refreshing amid all the "pattern looks good" and "GFS shows snow in 4 weeks" idiocy with no analysis behind it.  Yet all are ok with that inane repetition.

Please be right

Even if somehow it’s right (it won’t be), temps are already near 40 and dew points are going up on the easterly flow so we can’t wetbulb to near freezing. Any snow would be white rain that wouldn’t accumulate. I’d say 90% chance it just starts as rain.

I called that in the second week of January. Won’t even be close we’re gonna sail right past it.

 

Well guys are fighting about a flake of snow today I’m outside in shorts and a long sleeve tee raking leaves. And that says it all.

But more than a few days ago, even when he and a bunch of other guys were saying NYC would get measurable snow today, I was dead certain why it wouldn't happen and I gave reasons.  So if he has a bias, he didn't have it for this storm, because I was expecting even less snow than he was.

This is no surprise, outside of that little bubble in late December temperatures have been consistently verifying as warmer than forecast.  It's why I was dead certain days ago that NYC would get O or a T from this.

Yes, if you use the data from the 1870s through the 1920s or so, NYC consistently averaged over 30 inches of snow every decade, and that was using the old way of measuring snow which did not account for compaction.

Bigger question is, can we catch 1932?

What happened that year to make January so warm?  And the climate was much colder back then.

In Methuen Ma, school was closed on Monday for light rain and dripping water from snow on tree branches....the snow did not start to accumulate till after 2 pm. Parents were furious.

Back in the day it took a legitimate snowstorm for school to be cancelled.

Yeah like 10 inches lol

We'll easily catch it. Another +8 week coming up. We should blow past it

You frequently mention how this is like the 80s...wrong it's a lot worse. The 80s were cold, this is another beast.

Some get refreshed by cola, others by beer.  Good to have diverse viewpoints. But there is objective predicting, then there is cheerleading against the collective sentiments of a snow enthusiast group.

I average I’d say 33-34” per year. NorthShoreWX in Smithtown is at 38”/winter over the last 25 years so maybe I average a little more being just west of him. ISP averages right around 32”. Central Park with the new averages is right about 30”. We shouldn’t expect blockbusters but there should definitely be a few decent events per winter. 

The "true" average for our area is probably closer to 25"

Terrible idea.  I could see if you hit like your seventh or eighth snow day having that as an emergency option, but otherwise, remote learning is a complete and utter failure for many.  Only ones that really benefit are the tech companies that write all the software and sell the hardware to make it happen.

why is remote learning so bad?  I found in class learning completely useless....I did all my learning reading books in the library and staying ahead of the class and acing my tests without ever really listening to anything my teachers said.
